Is there a formula for success or a chart somewhere? My concern isn’t getting injectors too small…its getting ones that are too big and running pig rich.

i believe this has more to do w/ the duty cycle of the injectors-... for instance you could have a huge injector but only allow it to squirt the stock amount of fuel because it's not working at it's full potential-...



someone else wanna chime in and let us know if that's correct?

Duty cycle is something to be aware of too. To large an injector is going to cause some idle and cold start problems. When injectors are scaled down to like 3-4% of their duty cycle they are not very accurate ... and that varies between mfg and even injector of the same mfg.
